Hammersmith Bridge Closure

Cones and barriers block the southern end of Hammersmith Bridge, closed to motor traffic but open to pedestrians because of structural concerns, on 6th April 2022, in London, England. Safety checks revealed "critical faults" and Hammersmith and Fulham Council has said it's been left with no choice but to shut the 132-year-old bridge until refurbishment costs could be met. In march 2022, a new capital spend of £3.5million was approved to progress concept design and associated works to stabilise the grade II-listed structure.
